...people who dressed well that we care about. It’s the dresses that made us want to gag that really count. Poor Uma Thurman. A woman who consistently wears some of the finest clothes in the fashion world, Uma must have had a blunt object hit her before the show, because her pseudo-kimono-warrior-princess dress was absurd. Her ensemble was either a feeble attempt at educating herself on international culture or a cheap promotion for Kill Bill. Either way, this mishap will be forgiven but not forgotten...
Inspired as much by Renaissance iconography, the Stations of the Cross and the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary as by the Gospels' terse narratives, Gibson portrays Jesus' agony and death in acute and lavish detail.

So, their other choice is to accept the peace proposal laid out by the U.S. delegation, hoping that this could blunt rebel advance. But it could also generate rebel anger against the opposition, too. So the political opposition is between a rock and a hard place right now. Either they hurt their standing with the international community by resisting the peace accord, or they hurt their standing with the rebels...
